Question:
Response to fear

I have the same fears......I filed an organ donor form, declared a durable power of attorney and updated our will...need I say more. Sounds like fear to me! (Or getting our house in order). I vasilate between should I? shouldn't I? every hour. One moment I think I have gone on this long, I will try just one more diet and that will be a successful. I will be okay, I can do it and then the next I decide go for the surgery. My whole approval process was so easy, I think this is God's way of telling me this is what I should do. If I didn't have his blessing, I believe there would have been more obstacles for me to hurdle. (This body was not made for hurdles, LOL). Guy, I think like the rest have said, we just need to put our trust in our surgeon and rely upon our faith. When you go into surgery, I will pray that there is a guardian angel on each shoulder watching over you! Be thinking about you! Nancy    — Nancy S. (posted on June 28, 2000)
